Achilles, Odysseus and others in “Unfinished Business”

I thought you might come.

When does this stop? When we're all dead?

When the King feels in his soul the wrong he's done me, and gives me back my girl. That probably won't happen tonight.

They have twice the numbers. They have dozens of horses; you could have Trojan riders in your tent within hours.

Well, we'll be sure to welcome them. Won't we? [he glances at Patroclus, who chuckles]

Patroclus... help me.

See, I'm not like you, Odysseus. You like to win, regardless of the cause. If I feel the cause is wrong, I can't move. [Odysseus scoffs] My sword won't rise in my hand-

Stop this. We don't have time!

There's always time for thinking, Nestor.

We need your men, even if you won't fight.

Give me a reason, and I'll fight. One that isn't rape or pillage. You show me a higher calling that demands my power. Give me a cause, and I'll give you war. Can you? [pause] Thought not. So, in the absence of glory... you'll have to rely on your ways, Odysseus: the wiles of man. They've served you well up 'till now.

You'll regret this. I swear, by the Gods. [He and Nestor turn to leave]

What do you know of Gods?
